3.57: Postgraduate Courses in Celtic Studies

Degrees available:
PhD (min 3 years); MLitt (min two years); MSc/Diploma (one year/nine months)
Entrance qualifications for all three is a good Honours degree in Celtic
studies or a related or relevant discipline, but I understand each case is
considered on its individual merits.

The MSc/Diploma is based around a series of prescribed specialisms
including literary, linguistic and historical options of which
candidates chose one. There isn't much specific info on the content of the
other courses

The Dept of Celtic was founded in 1882 and is the oldest in Scotland.
Current members include Prof William Gillies (head of dept), Ronald Black
and Robert Mullally. Thomas Clancy (British Academy Post-Doctoral fellow)
and Allan MacDonald also take part in teaching. Nerys Ann Jones, Kenneth
MacKinnon and Cathair O Dochartaigh are Honorary Fellows of the Faculty
of Arts in the field of Celtic Studies.
